This is one of my favorite pictures of my brother -in-law Greg. This was taken when Austin was just days old. We use to joke about their matching hairstyles. Sadly, Greg lost his life in an auto accident last night. He was hit head on coming home from work. There are things in this life that are so hard to comprehend...for me it is death. I know that we are not promised tomorrow. I know that one day we will see Greg again...I will see my sweet Granny who left us almost five years ago...but it is still not easy. I look at my sister-in-law and can't really comprehend her pain..I wish I could take it away. I had to tell my sweet babies that their Uncle Greg was in heaven...Em seems to comprehend it and handled it well....Austin being just 4 years old almost seems wise beyond his years...he understood what I was saying and stated so matter of fact. I know the next few days will be hard for Robin...to have to tell her soul mate goodbye for now...for Jordan and Zac to tell their Dad goodbye....for in-laws, parents, siblings, friends, and co-workers to say goodbye to a man that loved life, a man that loved his family and friends. I am not sure I really believe it myself...James and I were just discussing this week what Greg might like for Christmas...little did we know this life changing event was headed our way. I hope we never take life for granted again...I hope we know how precious each moment is...because again we are not promised tomorrow.
Grandaddy, Grammie, Uncle Blake, and Uncle Philip came up to Helena for a late Christmas. We had fun just hanging out and talking. Em got some Barbies, books, and a leap frog game. Austin got some Cars (from the movie), books, and a leap frog game. Grammie did play bingo with Em and Austin .Uncle Blake had the task of getting Barbie out of her box for Em...LOL. We did go and eat a late lunch at the depot....that place is so good! We enjoyed our time with them and can't wait for a road trip sometime in the future to Florida! Again I was taking pics with my Kodak and then my slr camera...you can so tell the difference..LOL. I have a lot to learn about shooting with an slr!
We started off the Christmas season with Austin's little preschool program. He did so good! I was not able to tape it since we were out of tape and I forgot how to record it on my Kodak Easy Share...LOL...oh well...at least I was able to get some pics! On Christmas Eve we went to Granddaddy and Grandmother Otts' house. We got to spend time with them, Aunt Rachel, Aunt Ruby, Aunt Robin, and Cousin Zac, Jordan and Stephen. Jordan got a new puppy and she was athe highlight of the night. (gotta get those pics loaded!)The kids had lots of fun playing with their new toys. Since I am still learning how to work my slr camera alot of the pics I took were blurry...LOL . So I copied the ones that Aunt Robin took of Em and Austin.
